Thai-Chinese International School (T.C.I.S.; Mandarin Traditional: 泰國中華國際學校, Simplified: 泰国中华国际学校, Pinyin: Tàiguó Zhōnghuá Guójì Xuéxiào; Thai:โรงเรียนนานาชาติ ไทย-จีน) is a private, non-profit, trilingual international school in the Bang Phli District of the Bangkok Metropolitan Region. It is located approximately 10 minutes from Mega Bangna, a 30-minute drive from downtown Bangkok, and a 25-minute drive from Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi International Airport. It is ranked as one of the top international schools in Thailand. [1] [2]

As a non-profit school[3], TCIS exists for the purpose of educating students and for the greater good of the community. [4] This means that the money earned by the school is always invested back into the students and the school. It also means that school fees are able to be kept lower because TCIS is not a business and it does not aim to make profits for investors. [5]

The school was founded in 1995 to serve the Taiwanese and Thai communities. It offers trilingual education in English, Chinese, and Thai.

License and Accreditation

The Thai-Chinese International School is licensed under/accredited by:

Curriculum Overview

The schools offers the USA’s Common Core curriculum at all grade levels, and Advanced Placement courses for high school. The Common Core, used by most states in America, is a set of high-quality academic standards . These learning goals outline what a student should know and be able to do at the end of each grade. [6]

The standards, based on evidence and research,and informed by other top-performing countries, were created by experts and educators from across the USA to ensure that all students graduate from high school with the skills and knowledge necessary to succeed in college, career, and life, and prepared for success in today’s global economy and interconnected world

To ensure all students are ready for success after high school, the Common Core establishes clear, consistent guidelines for the knowledge and skills that every student should have, from kindergarten through 12th grade. The standards are designed to ensure students are prepared for today’s entry-level careers, freshman-level college courses, and workforce training programs.

The Common Core standards are based on rigorous content and the application of knowledge through higher-order thinking, and focus on developing the critical-thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills that students will need to be successful.

The standards also provide a way for teachers to measure student progress throughout the school year and ensure that students are on the pathway to success in their academic careers.

In 2018, TCIS students received over USD 1,000,000 in scholarships.
